ASSIGNED NUMBERS

Unlike the MPAA we do not assign one inscrutable rating based on age, but 3 objective ratings for SEX/NUDITY, VIOLENCE/GORE and PROFANITY on a scale of 0 to 10, from lowest to highest, depending on quantity and context.

Johnny Depp stars as John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, a 17th century English poet who was devoted to drinking and sexual debauchery. He was also a constant menace to the brother of King Charles II, and was repeatedly banished to the countryside. Also with John Malkovich, Samantha Morton, Rosamund Pike and Tom Hollander. Directed by Laurence Dunmore. [2:10]

A scene in a play shows a man riding a large phallus around a stage and women wearing sheer dresses (bare breasts and pubic regions are visible in a couple of shots) and carrying and serenading phalluses (the audience members are each given a phallus as well).► A man kisses a woman deeply twice, and then slides his hand across her bare cleavage as he walks away from her, and she swoons.

A man punches a man in the face and gives him a bloody nose.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.
